Two things.
First, check the voltage on each battery while they are under load. Often rest voltage can be normal, but the voltage can drop quite a bit when the cart is actually moving.

Two would be o check the MCOR throttle linkage. Common issue on those carts is the throttle bar wears and doesn't turn the MCOR all the way to 100% throttle. It will feel like the cart takes off OK on flat ground but since it's only sending maybe 80% throttle to the controller it will creep up hills.
Ideally you want to hear the microswitch in the MCOR click within the first inch of pedal travel. If you have to push the pedal more than that to hear the switch click the linkage bar is worn. A quick fix for that is a zip tie, or some people cut a short section of 1/4" fuel hose and stick it on the bar where it contacts the pedal.
